وَهَل أَنا إلّا مهرةُ عربيّةٌ
سليلةُ أفراس تحلّلها بغلُ
And am I anything but a pure Arabian filly—
A scion of noble steeds, lawfully covered by a mule?
فَإِن نَتجت مهراً كريماً فَبالحرا
وَإِن يكُ إقرافٌ فما أنجب الفحلُ
If she foals a noble colt, that is only to be expected;
But if there is tainted breeding, the sire has begotten nothing noble.
Sol 5.6
